Definitions

  • the present invention refers to novel pharmacologically active derivatives of di-substituted 1,4-piperidine, the processes for their preparation and the pharmaceutical compositions containing them.
  • novel compounds, object of the present invention have a high affinity and specificity for 5-HT 4 serotoninergic receptors. They are able to inhibit, either at central or peripheral level, those effects mediated by the activation of this receptor subtype. Therefore, the compounds, object of the present invention, may be defined novel antagonists "in vitro” and "in vivo" of 5-HT 4 receptors.
  • 5-HT 4 receptors belong to the numerous family of serotoninergic receptors and they are among those more recently discovered, pharmacologically characterized and cloned. After the first identification in discrete areas of guinea-pig CNS [Dumuis et al.; Mol. Pharmacol. (1988), 34, 880; Bockaert et al.; Trends, Pharmacol. Sci. (1992) 13, 141] the 5-HT 4 serotoninergic receptors have been localized also in other districts, either central or peripheral (ileum, atrium, esophagus, colon, urinary bladder and adrenal glands) of different species, including humans. [Craig et al.; Brit. J. Pharmacol.
  • 5-HT 4 antagonists in the treatment of disorders connected to an altered intestinal motility or secretion such as I.B.S. (irritable bowel syndrome), more particularly in those forms of I.B.S. combined to diarrhoic states.
  • I.B.S. irritable bowel syndrome
  • 5-HT 4 receptors in central nervous system either in rat or in humans is not ubiquitary but limited to defined areas [Waeber et al.; Neuro Report (1993), 4, 1239; Monferini et al.; Life Sci. (1993), 52, 61] such as hippocampus, frontal cortex, basal ganglia and limbic structures.
  • Compounds able to control an altered stimulation of the 5-HT 4 receptors in central nervous system may therefore be used in the psychiatric and neurological fields such as the therapeutical treatment of anxiety, depression, psychosis, cognitive disorders, motility disorders and migraine.
  • 5-HT 4 receptors partially mediate the effect of 5-HT in controlling the ethanol intake, 5-HT 4 antagonists might be useful in the treatment of alcohol abuse.
  • 5-HT 4 receptors are also involved in the control of other functions of the genitourinary and adrenal glands system, where they seem to mediate the release of steroidal hormones [Lefebre et al.; Neuroscience, (1992), 47, 999]. Consequently, pathologies characterized by an altered secretion of hormones or urinary incontinence might be also treated with compounds able to block the 5-HT 4 receptors.
  • WO 94/08965 describes N-alkylpiperidinyl-4-methyl carboxylic esters/amides of condensed ring systems having 5-HT 4 antagonist activity.
  • WO 93/18027 describes 5-HT 4 receptor antagonists derived from a heterocyclic nucleus including a benzimidazolone groupment, which is in our compounds only a generic substituent.

  • Such long acting compositions may be administered by implantation (for example subcutaneously, transcutaneously or intramuscularly) or by intramuscular injection.
  • these preparations may be, for example, formulated with suitable polymeric or hydrophobic materials or ion exchange resins.
  • surfactants In order to increase the solubility of the compounds of general formula (I) or their physiological acceptable salts, surfactants, non-ionic surfactants such as PEG 400, cyclodextrins, metastable polymorphs, inert absorbents such as bentonite may be incorporated. Furthermore, techniques such as preparation of, for example, eutectic mixtures and/or solid dispersions using mannitol, sorbitol, saccharose, succinic acid, or physical modified forms using water soluble polymers, PVP, PEG 4000-20000, may be employed.
  • compositions are advantageously formulated in dosage unit: each dosage unit being adapted to supply a single dose of the active ingredient.
  • Each dosage unit may conveniently contain 0.1 mg to 100 mg, preferably 1 mg to 20 mg of the active ingredient.
  • 1,1-Carbonyldimidazole (5.3 g., 0.033 mol) was added to a solution of L-O-Bz serine N-t-Boc (9,7 g., 0.033 moli) in THF (100 ml) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 40 minutes.
  • a solution of 4-amino-5-chloro-2-methoxy-benzoic acid (piperidin-4-yl) methyl ester (9.7 g., 0.033 mol) in THF (50 ml) was dropped and the reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The solvent was evaporated to dryness and the residue was taken up in H 2 O and extracted into ethyl acetate.
  • Trifluoroacetic anhydride (5.2 g., 24.5 nunol) was added under stirring to a suspension of 5-fluoro-1H-indol-3-carboxylic acid [J.Med. Chem. (1991), 34, 140] (4 g., 22.3 mmol) in CH 2 Cl 2 , cooled at 5°C. After 90 minutes, stirring at the same temperature, methanesulfonic acid (2.2 g., 22.3 mmol) following by a solution of S(+)-[1-(2-t-butoxycarbonylamino-3-benzyloxy-propyl)-piperidin-4-yl]methanol (8.5 g., 22.32 mmol) in CH 2 Cl 2 (5 ml) were rapidly added.
  • the reaction mixture was extracted with a diluted 5% HCl aqueous solution; the acid solution, after further washing with ethyl acetate, was neutralized with aqueous diluted 8% Na 2 CO 3 solution.
  • 1,1,-Carbonyldiimidazole (0.81 g., 5 mmoli) was added to a mixture of 4-amino-5-chloro-2-methoxy-benzoic acid (1.01 g., 5 mmol) in THF (20 ml ⁇ and it was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • S-2-(4-ethoxycarbonylaminomethyl-piperidin-1-yl)-1-benzylethylamine (1.6 g., 5 mmol) in THP (10 ml) was then dropped and stirred overnight at room temperature. The solvent was evaporated to dryness, the residue was taken up with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The collected organic phases were dried and evaporated to dryness.
  • Tablets - Active ingredient of Formula I 5 mg - lactose 158 mg - microcrystalline cellulose 35 mg - magnesium stearate BP 2 mg - tablet weight 200 mg
  • Method of preparation the active ingredient was passed through a 24 mesh sieve, blended with the lactose, microcrystalline cellulose and magnesium stearate.
  • the resulting mixture was pressed into tables weight 200 mg each. Each tablet contains 5 g of active ingredient.
  • Capsules - Active ingredient of Formula I 5 mg - lactose 193 mg - magnesium stearate BP 2 mg - Fill weight 200 mg
  • Method of preparation the active ingredient was sieved and blended with the excipients. The mixture was filled into hard gelatin capsules using suitable machinery.
  • Syrup - Active ingredient of Formula I 5 mg - hydroxypropylmethylcellulose USP 45 mg - Buffer - Flavour - Colour as required - Preservatives - Sweetener - Purified water BP to 10 ml
  • Method of preparation the hydroxypropylmethylcellulose was dispersed in hot water, cooled and then mixed with an aqueous solution containing the active ingredient and the other components of the formulation. The resulting solution was adjusted to volume and mixed. The syrup was clarified by filtration.
  • Sodium chloride may be added to adjust the tonicity of the solution and the pH may be adjusted, using acid or alkali, to that of optimum stability and/or facilitate solution of the active ingredient.
  • suitable buffer salts may be used.
  • the solution was prepared, clarified and filled into appropriate size ampoules sealed by fusion of the glass.
  • the injection was sterilised by heating in an autoclave using one of the acceptable cycles.
  • the solution may be sterilised by filtration and filled into sterile ampoules under aseptic conditions.
  • the solution may be packed under an inert atmosphere of nitrogen or other suitable gas.
  • Method of preparation a suspension of the active ingredient was prepared in the molten semisynthetic glicerides of fatty acids and filled, using suitable machinery, into suppository moulds.
